Show is a critical smash which had a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score until the 17th review came. Here's the consensus:

Watching episode 2 now.
Stick "we work together and we get out of here alive"
Matt "peace out suckas"
They could have made the "women power" theme a bit subtler. Nice to see "Missy" is in this. Salem doesn't talk? Too weird!
Just finished watching the first four episodes and....Holy Witchcraft, Batman! This show is absolutely NOTHING like the old Filmation cartoon from the late 60’s or the Melissa Joan Hart sitcom from the late 90’s. There’s plenty of chills and creepiness I never expected, and, I have to say it’s plenty damn good!

I am enjoying this much more than Haunting of Hill House.
I am on episode 3 and I like it is a lot darker than I thought but in a good way.
I'm on episode 4 and it's really an amazing show, i'm surprised in a very good way, love the series already and I know nothing about the Archie Comics, old and new.
So because I googled Daniel Webster (because the name sounded familiar I also recognised the name of one of her classmates. Anyone else expecting them to be the big bad of the series?

Just got done binge watching this show, that was damn good. Note to sluggish netflix, more supernatural themes with people with POWERS, not this low rent low tier low fantasy crap that is less compelling.

I was a big fan of the "Bewitched" television show when it originally aired (and, yes, I was a little kid then and too young to remember the earliest episodes) and watching it now on DVD and loving it. But I was never a fan of Sabrina. Although Sabrina was around in the comics before Bewitched aired, I always had this idea in my mind that Samantha was the original and Sabrina was the ripoff or some sort of teenage take on Tabitha, Samantha's daughter.
I know I've seen a couple of episodes of the cartoon version of Sabrina but I remember literally nothing about it. I think I watched part of one episode of the live action Sabrina show and just was not interested. That's weird because that kind of comedy take worked for me with Bewitched. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood or maybe I, again, just had this attitude that it was derivative of Bewitched.
I say all of this by way of explaining that I don't have this set thing in my mind about what Sabrina "should be". So I really like this new take so far.
Right now, I've only seen the first two episodes. It's serious but in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way. I have a couple of friends who are in Wicca. I know "Wicca" is copyrighted, trademarked, whatever. They probably dislike the idea that the show is going with the Christian idea of what Witchcraft is instead of the Pagan ideas. But I suspect witchcraft is going to turn out to be far more than just getting powers from Old Scratch. I suspect there are going to be powers of light style witchcraft too.
As I watch it, I also keep thinking that this could as easily be a serious take on "Bewitched". I'm liking it so far.
Power with Girl is better.
